only caricature you, will only SCOT at you.
What then must man dol When the
wave strikes him with terrific dash, shall
he have nothing to hold on to? In this
contest with 1.-THE world, the flesh and the
devii,n shall q man have no help, no
COUNSEL!
Our text intimates something different.
In those eyes that wept with the Bethany
sisters see shining hope. In that voice
which spake until the grave broke and the
widow Of Main had back her lost son, and
the sea slept, and sorrow stupendous w oke
| up in the arms Of rapture-in that voice
hear the word OF command and the
promise:
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he viii
sustain thee.
| Why should you carry your burdens any
longera Oh, you weary soul Christ has
been in this conflict He says:
| My grace shall be sufficient for you. You
shall not be tempted above that you are able
| to bear.
Therefore, with all your temptations,
go, as these disciples did, and tell Jesus.
| Again, ] commend the behavior of the
disciples to all those who are abused and
| slandered and prosecuted. When Herod
put John to death the disciples knew that
their own heads were not safe. And do
you know that every John has Heroda
There are persons in life who do not wish
you very well. Through their teeth they
| hiss at you, misinterpret your motives,
and would be glad to see you upset. No
man gets through life without
having pumnneling. Some Islander
comes after you, horned and husked and
| hoofed, to gore and trample you; and
what are you to dot I tell you plainly
that all who serve Christ must suffer per-
secution. 1t is the worst sign in the
world for you to be able to say:
! II haven't an enemy in the world
| A woe is pronounced in the Bible
against the one Of whom every body
speaks we'll If you are at peace with all
the world, and every body likes you and
approves your work it is because you are
an idler in the Lords vineyard and are
not doing your duty.
All those who have served Christ, how
ever eminent, have been maltreated at
some stage Of their experience You
know it was so in the time of George
Whitefeld, when he stood and invited
men into the kingdom of God. What did
the learned DR.. johnson say of hint He
pronounced him q miserable mountebank.
How was it when Robert Hall stood and
